PASADENA, Calif. and NEW YORK, Oct. 28, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Wallaby Financial, Inc., the leader in mobile and web-based credit card optimization solutions, today announced that it has partnered with ThePointsGuy.com, a leading travel rewards website, to offer TPG To Go, a free app for iPhone and Android. The app offers a unique blend of rewards and credit card content tightly focused on consumers' needs.

TPG To Go's features set a new standard for travel and rewards apps. In addition to editorial content from ThePointsGuy.com, the app also provides exclusive informational resources. Wallaby's industry-leading credit card optimization engine and CardBase™ are seamlessly incorporated into TPG To Go to help users track, manage, and improve their rewards programs.

Features of TPG To Go include:

Pay With This: TPG To Go detects where a user is making a purchase and ranks his or her credit cards based on available rewards.

User can customize point values or relationship rewards, reflecting the full value of their travel programs. Pay With This supports management of foreign transaction fees, as well.
TPG Tracker: A one-of-a-kind service that alerts TPG To Go to stay on top of credit card bonuses, bills, and more.
